NetScouts Basketball is covering the “Basketball Without Borders” event in Moscow. In the morning of the first day the coaches reinforced some dribbling drills for the attendees. The coaches used as defenders Alex Shved, Tim Mozgov, Andrei Kirilenko, Marshan Brooks and Danny Green to make the task as difficult as possible.

Then the players were separated into teams and scrimmage games began. The games were 20 minutes running time.

Several big guys, such as Doko Salic form Bosnia and Andrii Kharchinskyi of Ukraine surprised the crowd with their shooting range and solid rebounding . However, the star of the games was Aidas Kavaliauskas (Lithuania) who played point guard for one of the 4 teams. He looked as mature as a solid college player and clearly has pro potential. He shot very well, was excellent passing all over the court, rebounded well from his guard spot and was excellent in starting fast breaks. His teammates appreciated his assists and listened to his direction as he ran the offense.

As the individual teams have now been organized and had some practice time, the scrimmages tomorrow should be tougher and more competitive.
